Congratulations to Tracey (3rd W, 1st W35),
to Mary (2nd W45) and to everyone who ran a PB and to everyone who was pleased
with their time, and to everyone else too as I'm sure we were one of the best
represented clubs with 30 runners.
I'm showing the results in chip time sequence, which is
how the Grand Prix points are awarded, but you can take a look at the gun times
too, and see who started a little too far back (Paul Sanderson, Bob
Wilyman, Anne McCaffrey) and to see who was sneaking up at the front of the
start (we'll let Mary off on this count as last year she started too far back
and finished outside the top two W45's, this year she gained a place by lurking
behind Sam at the start). Tim Towler was running with Tracey's sister, but
I'm not sure whether she was running in a borrowed number?

A few Striders
running here, congratulations to Lou Gilchrist who won the W65 prize.
There were only two in the category but she did have the satisfaction of beating
all the 6 M70's (she too is over-70)
Club Vests (message from
Sara)
“The Complete
Runner” (Terry Lonergan) has stocks of Fastrax Valley Striders kit as
before. There is a panelled mesh
style and also a non-mesh fabric option for about £12. However there have been some concerns
expressed about the styling and quality of these vests and in addition the
lettering is illegal (“Striders” too big according to AAA/UKA rules) and the
shop showed no interest in changing the artwork.
In response to
this we now have an alternative supplier in Ilkley. “Dobson and Robinson” can supply Viga
vests in male and female styles for £10 including the lettering and there is a
crop top option. The vests are
similar to Ilkley Harriers, but panel-free as our vest is single (white)
colour. The lettering is computer
generated and printed individually so is more flexible. I will wear one of these to the 4th WYXC
– on mine the “Striders” is legal and the same size as the “Valley”. As the printing is done individually you
will need to give a couple of days notice to D&R, but I am happy to pick up
any prepared vests for people as I pass through Ilkley 2 or 3 times a
week.

Thank you, Sara, for all the research you've
done
Nunroyd Park is on the
main A65 road from Leeds via Kirkstall and Rawdon that then goes on to Guiseley
and Ilkley. It's on the right hand side about three quarters of a mile
after the JCT600 roundabout and just before Guiseley Retail Park. If you get to
Morrisons in Guiseley you've gone 600 yards too far. The A65 can be quite
busy even on a Sunday so allow plenty of time.
NB for those living on the North side of Leeds Ring Road,
there is a quick route via Bramhope Village, across to Carlton, and down into
Guiseley past Aireborough leisure centre but not recommended on an icy
day
If you have been entered, please come and run, we have a
chance of winning the John Smith trophy.
Help
Required at the Cross Country, to hand out Meanwood Trail
entry forms to the runners in the junior races. They start at 12:00 so it
means arriving about 90 mins earlier than usual. Please email me if you
can help, this is a good chance to advertise the race to the
juniors
I think we may have 2
full teams of 12, but if you want to stand by as reserve, phone Geoff on
266-6288
Christmas meal & presentation
evening (Friday 16 December)
Still places available,
contact Steve O on 267-7779, £9 per person, excellent value for money, partners
welcome!
Chevin Chase (Monday 26
December)
Will be the first race
of the 2006 Grand Prix. I entered last Friday and got my number today, so
there are still entries available, but mine was number 715, so enter
soon.
I will publish the full list of races for 2006 in the next
email (this one is getting long already)
Date is still to be
decided, possibly Monday 2nd January. There are 5 legs, each of 3 to 5
miles. Make up a team with your training companions or contact me if you'd
like to run. Teams of all abilities are welcome, and you can get a good
hot lunch at the pub at the end of the relay.

Please could you also put an advert in your next
valley striders email for me? I would like to talk to any
hill-walkers, mountaineers, or mountain marathoners, etc, who would be
interested, or willing to help me with my PhD research. I am looking at the
comfort performance of clothing for these sports and would value your input.
Please contact [email protected]
